The creative caravan was organized by the Mamutt Creatividad group for the city’s public transport system Metrobús’ 10th anniversary. Artists Mauricio Gómez Morín, Oscar Bachtold, SEGO Y OBVAL, Saner, Marcos Castro, Libre HEM, seher One, Carlos Pellicer López, Gilberto Aceves Navarro, and Smithe provided D.F. with the art on wheels. Three from their ranks additionally redesigned the system’s metro cards into pocket-sized murals.
